Polyurethane Spinner?

I did a quick search but didn't find anything. Anyone using polyurethane spinners on their v-boxes? The spinner on our oldest Downeaster is in need of replacement and was thinking about giving one a try. I see that they are available in different vain configurations. Pros, cons? How long do they last? Our metal spinners seem to last about a season, maybe a season and a half. Thanks in advance for the Info.

I replaced the steel on my Torwell with poly, 6 years later it's still there. I think the more vanes, the more consistent the dispersement of material. The only con I think there is would be up front cost.

You bet. I got it last year and at the end of the season I was really discouraged but not quite ready to give up on it. Now this year has been a different story . Now I'm in negotiations for a good sized office lot for next year and it'll see even more use . My advise to anybody if you're wanting to expand is: Before going after more plowing - add sanding. More money in sanding and you can get the more lucrative accounts if you can offer sanding (or salting).
